Esthetician Picks Based On Your Favorite Sephora Product
1. If you love: Paula’s Choice Exfoliant
The Esti-Pick: Holi Frog’s AHA + BHA serum
The Difference: Save your barrier with a gentler exfoliant that has both AHA and BHA to help clear your skin and fade dark spots, without the "spiciness".
How: Combined with Lactic Acid to exfoliate while simultaneously locking in moisture.
The Result: A glow that is sensitive skin safe and effective for all skin tones.
2. If you love: Rhode Glazing Milk
The Esti-Pick: EltaMD UV Skin Recovery serum and night mask.
The Difference: Most "barrier" creams just coat the skin to prevent moisture loss. Professional recovery actively repairs structural damage.
The Tech: A patented AAComplex (Taurine, Arginine, Glycine) clinically proven to repair the barrier and reduce visible redness in as little as 24 hours.
The Analogy: These are the "bricks" that rebuild your skin’s protective wall to stop irritation at the source.
3. If you love: The High-Tech Renewal Estée Lauder Advanced Night Repair
The Esti-Pick: BIOEFFECT EGF Serum
The Difference: Professional biotech uses plant-based Barley EGF (Epidermal Growth Factor).
The Tech: It sends messages to your cells, signaling them to produce more collagen for maximum radiance.
4. Tower 28 Hypochloris Acid Spray
The Esti-Pick: Holi Frog Utopia Microflora Toner.
The Difference: This clean ingredient, milky toner acts as a probiotic for your skin as well as being an antibacterial for your skin.
The Science: It is designed to promote a healthy microbiome, which is the ecosystem of bacteria on your skin surface that protects against pathogens and acne.
The Tech: Combined with Lactic Acid to exfoliate and fade dark spots while simultaneously locking in moisture.
The Result: Instead of just "cleaning" the surface, you are balancing your skin’s pH without stripping the barrier, creating a bouncy, sensitive-skin-safe glow.
The Maintenance Mandate
Consistency beats a 10 step routine every time. Your homecare accounts for 80% of your progress, but it needs a professional baseline. To "keep building results without losing progress," we recommend a clinical facial every 4 weeks to match your skin’s natural cell turnover cycle.
Stop chasing the trend. Start the investment.
